My old desktop computer, Medusa (right), finally decided to call it quits. The new computer, Nemesis (left), is the replacement. I’m not sure when it started, but I give all our computers names from mythology. Besides Medusa and Nemesis, some others are/were Daphne, Echo, Phaedra, Gorgon, Chimera, and Persephone. I tend to give the laptops and portables the cuter names, and the desktops get the more sinister names. Kind of makes things a little bit more fun.

I miss Dodger Stadium! Was reminded of all the good times there by Manny’s wonderful blog post. Thinking back to all the Dodger Dogs, peanuts, Carnation chocolate malts, and the occasional Cool-a-coo… so many memories! And all accompanied by the organ music of Nancy Bea and Helen Dell.

For a while now I’ve been in the habit of not shutting down my laptop, but rather just putting it to sleep. I was at 29 days and 20 hours (I use Rainmeter to keep track of stats like that) of “up time” and thought I could break a month, but Windows forced me to restart to apply some updates… Well, we’ll have to just give it another go! 14 hours and 43 minutes so far.

I’m just listening to the Dodgers playing against the Pirates and I had thought of something to blog about… but now I’ve forgotten! You know, my memory has been getting pretty poor these days. Is there some kind of pill I can take for that?
